Just wanted to give a little update on what’s going on around Atl Barbell….

Alpharetta is well underway with their Paleo Challenge and trial with Kids Classes! Downtown has started planning for a Paleo Challenge as well, and we’ll post details as soon!

 This weekend (January 26/27) we were honored with being able to host our second L1 Trainer Course with CrossFit HQ at CrossFit Downtown. Approximately 50 invested CrossFitters from various states gathered with 4 of HQ’s Seminar Staff to learn all about Fitness and CrossFit’s Foundational Movements. It is a great weekend of learning and working out, and the people are great! If you are interested in ever becoming a CrossFit trainer,                                                this is the course for you!

Superstar Kelly Starrett will join us to teach all things movement and mobility.  This man is the guru of preaching and teaching the importance of performing basic maintenance on all our human bodies.  This trainer course breaks it down in a hands-on movement theory based workshop where coaches and athletes are exposed to the principles of Kelly Starrett’s movement and mobility method of resolving pain, preventing injury and                                                            optimizing athletic performance.

The Garage Games ONE 2013 coming up on February 16th and 17th in Suwanee, GA. Between CrossFit Alpharetta and CrossFit Downtown we have several individuals and teams competing in the event. We encourage everyone to come and watch our members throw it down, but please carpool as there is a parking fee for any cars with less than 3 people. For more details about the event check out the Garage Games ONE website here.

Want to take your CrossFit training to the next level?  Looking to add another certificate to your training arsenal?  Look no further. CrossFit Downtown Atlanta is playing host to the CrossFit Level 1 Trainer Course on March 16 & 17.  This two-day course introduces the mechanical, conceptual, and theoretical foundations of CrossFit.  This course will sell out.  Please register early to guarantee your spot.
